In addition to this, we should explain to users how they can quickly
check whether their journal is covered by one of our independent
styles. E.g. we could write documentation with questions such as:

- Is the journal publisher by Elsevier?
- If so, does the citation format in the Instructions to Authors match
that of Biological Conservation?
- If so, use elsevier-harvard.csl.

Et cetera. It's basically what Sebastian already does himself.
